For Queen and country

Craig

Daniel Craig says it’s getting “harder and harder” to do nude scenes in James Bond movies.

The 44-year-old actor — who is returning for his third film as the iconic British spy in Skyfall — admits he has “fun” taking his clothes off while portraying the secret agent and hopes it adds some “sexiness” to the 007 film franchise.

“I don’t actually read those bits. I don’t care how many times I have to do it. It’s going to be harder and harder the older I get. It’s just fun. There’s enough sexiness in the movie with the girls — and hopefully me as well — but it’s a little bit of a gag now.”

Craig stars opposite Javier Bardem in Skyfall. There was no free time during filming to spend with the 43-year-old star who portrays latest Bond villain Raoul Silva, but Craig wants to watch rugby with the No Country For Old Men actor when they get a chance.

“He played rugby for Spain, so he’s serious. It’s funny, we never went together, but he went to the 6 Nations and I went to the 6 Nations when they were on. I got him tickets. He got me tickets. I’d love to go to watch a rugby game with him.
